I’VE FINALLY FOUND THIS

This song was so popular here in the Philippines in the late 90’s and 2000s.
And I was born in 1998. And I’ve always hear this during my childhood and every time my parents had a gig.

And back in 2017, I asked my friends if they have heard this song. And to my surprise nobody did. So I searched it for the title but to no luck.

AFTER 3 YEARS!! Hahahahah I felt goosebumps as soon as I heard the intro. Lmao

[sillysongs]

After all these decades, still my favorite Kapena song :)

[TanakaDaRocka]

If you neva know, that is OG Tiva Tatofi father of Josh Tatofi. Talent running wild o hea

[lazer]

This song talks about a man being sad & wants to go out & drink kava to release stress😂.He's looking for his matches & cigarette to take with him. Bula from Fiji🇫🇯

Oh. God. Best show ever.

This live version gives us such a great up close look at the insane skill all of these musicians have. So sad this is the end of their original lineup. Thank you for filming this!!

[lindala]

Matches, kava and tobacco are the words. This is one of two fijian songs i cansing. Bula vinaka!

[controlledchaos]

[Nirvezz]

Island 98.5 💕thanks for playing this song. Love it. Pain in the ass to find what it was. They never had it on their song list online when played on radio

[taledivibes]

Fijian Classic song originally sung and composed by the late Sakiusa Bulicokocoko in the late 1970's.

Vinaka Kapena for the Cover

[joisafuamolisharonvaa]

[megarentfijiltd]

Yeah..! Masese from late Sakiusa Bulicokocoko. Vinaka!!

[skywarp]

This is one of the background song when my family went to Hawaii for the first time. I opened Google search, tapped the search for a song, then this appeared, and I clicked screenshot button. I don't have to lose this music again.
